I strive to make my soaps as natural as I can...down to the last detail! All of my oils are heated over a wood fire, all year long. During the summer, I have an outdoor woodstove to do my soaps on. I love it, because it lets me outside to do my work, which I completely enjoy.
And what is not to enjoy? We are on a dead end road in the middle of the country, with beautiful scenery around us. The birds are chirping, and my horses are in the paddck across from me snorting and swishing tails. Clean laundry is on the line, and my fire is crackling away as my oils slowly melt. I have a cloth covered picnic table holding my molds, fragrances, and lye water, all ready for my oils to be done! The fresh smell of honey is in the air from our nearby bee hives, and the bees are busy buzzing around the trees. My gardens are in bloom, and my kids are playing in the yard ....hopefully nicely.
Sounds serene, doesn't it? mmmmmm
This was our dream. Green grass, fresh air...just good clean country living.
I take advantage of what I can...but always give it back. I put my love of this life into my work as a soap maker. How can't I? I love the natural beauty of my country home....so I want my soaps to bring some of it to you.
This is why I use a wood fire instead of my stove top. This is why I choose to be outside when I make my soap. I'm inspired to create when I'm surrounded by what I love. I can put my deepest heart into my products when I just feel GOOD inside.
This is what makes me feel good. Knowing that I'm doing what I love, right down to the very last detail. When I say TRUE country soaps....well,...that is what I mean.
